"Hey @sonypictures we want Spider-Man back to @therealstanlee and @marvel please, thank you," the actor shared with his 14 million followers on the social network. It was addended with the following absolutely indelible hashtags: #congrats, #spidermanrocks, a hash followed by a bow and arrow emoji, and, finally, #please.

Back in 2015, it was first announced that Spider-Man would become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Sony's Spider-Man films to take place within the MCU (with input from Marvel and its president, Kevin Feige). Sony had made five Spider-Man films without Marvel, starting with 2002’s Spider-Man.

But after Tuesday's news that the entertainment companies have been unable to reach a new deal that would continue the arrangement, perhaps some are thinking the right words will correct the course. That apparently includes one MCU star pulling out the deferential big guns: "Please" and "Thank you."
